Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee balances dance music with philosophical tunes on this 21-track CD. The engine driving this collection is the smash single "Gasolina," with its basic reggae beat and its catchy chorus "Dame mas gasolina!" ("Give me more gasoline"). Also highly danceable are "No me Dejes Solo," featuring guest singers Wisin y Yandel, and the English-language pop-reggaeton tune "Like You." But Daddy Yankee also reflects on his barrio on "Salud y Vida" ("Health and Life"), a rap tune that questions society's endless pursuit of material things. Like fellow raggeton artists Tego Calderon, Daddy Yankee admires big-band salsa. Among his influences he counts noted singer Andy Montanez, who guests on the track "Sabor a Melao." Montanez's distinctive gruff vocals add a soulful flavor to the track. --Ramiro Burr

 I Really Like Daddy Yankee November 23, 2004
28 out of 33 found this review helpful
Great CD. I have been following the Spanish Reggae Movement since 1987. It started in Panama with Renato, Gaby and "The Meneaito." In the early 90's the Puerto Rican movement started to develop and has culminated with an explosion of new groups, and tunes both in Spanish and English. Daddy Yankee is one of these fellows that has helped take the movement to a higher plane along with Don Omar, D.J. Nelson, Big Daddy G,. Wicho Phillips, and many other great producers/Artists. I highly recommend this CD as well as product by Alberto Stylee, and for a great remember when package plus a few surprises, I also recommend A NEW CD/DVD OUT FROM MACHETE RECORDS ENTITLED "THE BEGINNING" REGGAETON CLASSICS. WORTH TAKING A LOOK! Amazon catalogue # B000A1ILKK
 REGGEATON: WORST MUSIC GENRE EVER November 23, 2005

Latinos must be really proud of achieving the impossible.
We created a music genre even worse than hip-hop.
Question: How is Daddy Yankee like Phil Collins? September 1, 2005
13 out of 16 found this review helpful
Answer: He's everywhere. Would it be possible for Mr. Yankee guest on more tracks? I don't think it's possible.
Here in NJ one can tune into WCAA 105.9 at any point of the day or night, and there's an 85% chance you're in a track where Daddy shows up.
Any day now he's playing Madison Square Garden to a sold out show.
And yet his stuff is good enough that he doesn't feel overexposed. I know just a smattering of spanish, but I have to say his charisma transcends the language barrier, and of course Luney Tunes' excellent work backs the charisma up.
I've had the record for a while, had a bunch of MP3s before that, I listen to this record a few times a week at work, and it's not old yet.

I think my 10 year old brother can write better than anything this man has. If I ever have the unpleasure of hearing one more song of his I'd literally stick a pencil in my ear.

I am a 19 year old dominican guy, and I've been listening reggaeton since I was about 9. I have this album, and I can tell ya, this is one of the worse reggaeton albums ever. The old-school reggaeton artists are far better than Daddy Yankee (DJ Playero, The Noise, Vico-C). Daddy Yankee used to make good songs, but this is waaaaaaaaaaay to commercial. This is almost reggaeton pop (always the same "Dembow" beat, nothing innovative), reptitive (I HATE that gasolina song). Guys, this is garbage. Want to listen some good reggaeton with some creativity? Try to get some of the old DJ Playero compilations (37,42, and the 40, which is my favorite: Note: those are compilations of underground reggaeton songs, thats what you call true reggaeton),and Tego Calderon, who has a waaaaaaay better flow than daddy Yankee. Please, try to get one of the aforementioned albums, and in the meantime, do yourself a favor and avoid to listen to this crap. This is not reggaeton, is pure garbage.
